    What are the options for trading on CURRENEX for a retail trader?

    Electric and Herring, I was told by Aaron that minimum trade size on the CurreneX is 500k. So to answer Electrics size trading comment. Yes someone would have to be crazy to trade this size with $25k. Sorry herring, I got this from the horses, well you know. Also their other platform is a...

    Currenex Compatible Platforms?

    Danger, I am not trying to "troll out" but, are you going to be working with CX's API, or Gain Pro's API that talks to CX's API. By the way CureneX is supposed to be coming out with a new platform that is supposed to include OCO and other advanced ordering, when, nobody knows for sure. Also...

    Currenex Compatible Platforms?

    You would have to get the Currenex API, and that is not going to happen either. Sorry there is no way around this on CurreneX, Now I know MB has all sorts of neat bells and whistles on their order platform, so that might work for you, but as far as CurreneX is concerned, you are fenced in by...

    Currenex Compatible Platforms?

    Danger, OCO orders are executed with specific counterparties only, on the CurreneX platform. So you must have permission from the White Label Broker to use this feature and permission to deal with the counterparties directly. I have never heard of these permissions allowed to retail clients...

    What are the options for trading on CURRENEX for a retail trader?

    Electric, 1/2 lot, never seen one only know they exist, like bigfoot. Liquidity providers ALWAYS make a buck on everything, rebates from fees, is an opinion of some. As far as dinging your account, I have not seen that either, but I guess its possible. More likely, as I heard from the grapevine...

    What are the options for trading on CURRENEX for a retail trader?

    Electric, there are no aggregate minimums set by CurreneX. And the minimum size is worked out by the White Label Broker and their liquidity providers, which just may be themselves, in fact there are some White Label Brokers who allow as low as 50,000 units as a trade size minimum. I have not...

    Is this slippage or what!

    Going back to the original subject, look at this tick chart, it tells the story. This is on a GAIN feed, and CAD news this morning. Just look at the gaps, this is why you do not get filled during fast markets. If you look at a 15 min chart this would look like an orderly run up, completely...

    What are the options for trading on CURRENEX for a retail trader?

    Herring, remember two things about CurreneX 1 True interbank spread is dynamic and ranges on the EUR 0-3 wide 2 stop/limits convert to market orders when the price is hit, so there will be slippage Make sure they are not charging you a spread and a fee like another big broker I know :D...

    Since there is no prey around today and I am still full from yesterday, I would like to take a bite out of this dialog. First, hey Lon whats up. Second, Igor look at the top of your CurreneX toolbar and uncheck partial fills. Third, ECN cheap, cheap, cheap, Lon is absolutely correct on...

    Slippage on Currenex is this normal?

    Look at todays price action and you will see what I mean by news trading is dangerous, in 15 min you went from 82 to 62 on the hotspot feed, and then an immediate bounce back, this is very dangerous trading/gambling. Also you said 2 wide on 100 k, is that 2 total or 2 wide per side. In other...

    Does OANDA Slip and Spread

    I don't have time to search all of the threads, so could some of the full time OANDA traders help me understand something? I know OANDA artificially widens the spread before news releases, but now I am hearing that there is slippage on entries also. Is this the case? The ever inquisitive VIPER

    Slippage on Currenex is this normal?

    Davn, yup slippage is normal on CurreneX, in fact to be expected. 3-5 is good, I have had up 9 and have heard it goes higher. Now what you should not see is a crazy widening of the spread before news, on CurreneX maybe 2 pips max on the EUR. And this is why news trading is so dangerous, if...

    Nick hi, I don't use tradebolt, I have my own systems. But it looks to me as if they are a kind of sort of an I/B. And if that is the case, the better question would be, how much more does tradebolt add to the spread. Now since they say they add nothing on top, this means they are taking a small...
